When you toss a coin four times, each toss has 2 possible outcomes: heads or tails. To find the total number of outcomes, you multiply the number of outcomes for each toss together. In this case, it would be 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 possible outcomes.

The above answer is correct if you disregard the order of the outcomes.

If the order of the outcomes matters, then the answer is:

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16

since each toss has two possible outcomes (assuming the coin cannot land on its side) and you repeat the toss four times.

If you flip a coin 2 times how many possible outcomes are there How many combinations?

Four outcomes, three combinations.


What is the probability of getting at least 2 heads in three flips of a fair coin?

In three flips of a fair coin, there are a total of 8 possible outcomes: T, T, T; T, T, H; T, H, T; T, H, H; H, H, H; H, H, T; H, T, H; H, T, T Of the possible outcomes, four of them (half) contain at least two heads, as can be seen by inspection. Note: In flipping a coin, there are two possible outcomes at each flipping event. The number of possible outcomes expands as a function of the number of times the coin is flipped. One flip, two possible outcomes. Two flips, four possible outcomes. Three flips, eight possible outcomes. Four flips, sixteen possible outcomes. It appears that the number of possible outcomes is a power of the number of possible outcomes, which is two. 21 = 2, 22 = 4, 23 = 8, 24 = 16, .... Looks like a pattern developing there. Welcome to this variant of permutations.


What is the outcome if two coins are tossed and one number cube is rolled?

Let's call one coin A and the other B. omes The possible outcomes for the coins are; A heads and B tails, A tails and B heads, A and B heads, A and B tails. That's four outcomes. The possible outcomes for a single die (as in dice) are six since a die has six faces, So four times six is twenty four possible outcomes.


How many possible outcomes if each coin is flipped once?

We use three coins (quarter, nickel, dime) each are flipped only once. We get 8 possible outcomes (or four outcomes as an alternative).


If you toss a coin three times how many possible outcomes are there?

In three tosses there can be four possible outcomes: three heads, three tails, two heads and one tail, and one head and two tails. ^^^That is wrongA coin is tossed N times. There are 2 possibilities when you toss a coin: heads and tails.So the formula is 2^N (thats to the N power)A coin tossed 3 times has 2^3=8 possible outcomes:head head headhead head tailhead tail headtail head headtail tail headhead tail tailtail head tailtail tail tailThere they are!
